IMO E.
We need a proper noun, PTA for the modifier 'distressed...' to be correct so options A, B and C are out.
Out of D and E, option E is error free as option D incorrectly use 'being'.

+1 for E
(A) the possibility of removing vending machines was discussed by the PTA at its monthly meeting
(B) the removal of vending machines was discussed as a possibility by the PTA at its monthly meeting
(C) removed vending machines was discussed by the PTA at its monthly meeting as a possibility
(D) the PTA discussed at its monthly meeting the possibility of vending machines being removed --> Being changes the intended meaning
(E) the PTA, at its monthly meeting, discussed the possibility of removing vending machines --> Corrects the modifier error. "At its monthly meeting" is modifying the PTA
